T.G.Thyagarajan's
( Satyajothi) movies have always been appreciated for
being very 'clean'. In that sense, this movie is also
being happily looked forward to. The story seems to
tackle the small conflicts that arise when the dreams
and aspirations of the lead trio clash after their lives
intertwine! Vidyasagar has scored six hummable songs
for the movie.

The opening sarangi notes are gentle and suggest the mood
of the song itself--that of longing. Fine expressive singing
by Hariharan. The sarangi follows delightfully in places.
Even the interludes have a rich depth to them. The song
is basically about how love transforms the way you look
at even mundane things. Hariharan lets each line taper off
with a lovely' sangati' which should not be missed. The
lady sings well too, but is sometimes high-pitched which
could have been toned down.

Orey
oru naalVocals: Benny Dayal, Lyrics:
Vaali

In a way this song offers an explanation for the title
of the movie. Vaali stresses the need to reinvent
oneself continually to enjoy life in all its true
colours. Light-hearted singing by Benny Dayal. The
song has a heavy rhythm orientation to it. The instruments
could have been just a tad softer. Maybe this is a
dance item. And Vaali has crafted the song so well
that it stands up to the rigorous beat.

Ullasa ulagamVocals: Tippu, Lyrics:
Marudhakasi

This is a remixed version of an old song composed
by Marudhakasi. The remix has been done by Pravin
Mani. The song comes off very pleasant mainly because
of Tippu's fine and lovely articulation. And the limited
use of instruments. A rather short number ,running
for two and odd minutes!

AdaimazhaikkaalamVocals: Karthik, Lyrics:
Vaali

Instruments like the guitar, flute etc; have been
used in a 'tinkling' fashion to suggest the actual
'pitter patter' of raindrops themselves! The lyrics
seem to evoke a mood of simple nostalgia. Karthik
has sung it well too, as he usually does. This song
takes a little time to grow on you. Could move into
the charts soon.

Adhai koodavaaVocals: Sriram Parthasarathy, Lyrics:
Kabilan

A very melodious song with equally pleasing violin accompaniment.
The singer seems to tenderly recall some past incidents
.With their high-pitched movement, the instruments also
seem to join in this' seeking' so to speak! The beats, somewhat
urgent in their articulation, appear as if they too want
to jolt the memories of the listener. An effortless rendering
by Sriram Parthasarathy.

Suttrivarum boomiVocals: Sadhana Sargam, Lyrics:
N.Muthukumar

A light number by Sadhana Sargam. The ambitious outpourings
of a young girl who thinks the world is her oyster! 'Koyamputhur
kusumbu, Kovilpatti thimiru' are funny generalizations and
one hopes no one takes offence to them! Sadhana is her melodious
self. The refrain' chan chana chan' is lilting. But the
different musical pieces don't seem to blend well in this
song. So it does take a hit where melody is concerned. Maybe
Bhavana's charm could light up the song on screen.
Verdict:

In a way, Vidyasagar has not really let the listener down.
All the male singers have sung with aplomb. Only the last
song leaves you unimpressed. But Vidyasagar's creativity
has also not come to the fore here. He's capable of much
more. Anyway, its a pleasing album, with a couple of chart
climbers.
